Week 7 Weekly Football Chat set for Thursday at 8 p.m.

The seventh edition of my High School Football Chat will be conducted Thursday starting at 8 p.m.

Six installments to date have all lasted at least four hours.

Once again, I urge people who ask me a question to please don’t keep sending it over and over again if I have not responded immediately. Last week, all but two of you refrained from loading the question box with the same thing multiple times. That allowed me to answer questions much more rapidly. Thank you.

The schedule has worked out nicely in Week 7 as both Class B divisions will be decided by winner-take-all matchups. Albany Academy (5-1, 3-0) travels to meet Ravena (5-1, 3-0) for the Reinfurt Division and Schalmont (6-0, 4-0) hits the road to take on Schuylerville (5-1, 3-1) in the West Division.

Friday night in Class AA, Shenendehowa (5-1, 4-1) hosts Saratoga (3-3, 3-2) in a game that will be broadcast live by Time Warner Cable Sports. A win by the Plainsmen clinches the division title, but a loss would send them down to the No. 3 slot — and into a first-round playoff road game.
